My first car was a 1987 Hyundai Excel, which was great until someone turned left in front of me and I totaled it. As I was working to get another car I was driving my step-dad’s 1969 Chevrolet El Camino, complete with a 396 whose previous home happened to be a race car. We’re talking a very slight change in power and…

I don’t think it works be a good idea to feed dead versions of 20% of American humans to bees.

There are photos online of the incident, if you’re in a morbid mood.  And the NTSB report is chilling - for instance, there was no test for drugs or alcohol because there weren’t enough remains to test.

The last time this happened, the airline did have the engine rebuilt and put back into service. That was a Continental 737 in 2006.

It’s a private company and he’s the owner. It’s not like he won’t be in control if he’s not the CEO.

I’ve only been inside of 5 747's in my life - 2 flying, 3 not flying - and now 2 of them are at the Pima museum.  This seems weird.

For me to survive in California commuter traffic, a car needs air conditioning, adaptive cruise control, and Android Auto.

I drove one for a while in the mid-90's and it was a perfectly serviceable little car for a high schooler. Yeah, the shifter had as much play in gear as it did in neutral, but other than that it got me and my friends where we needed or wanted to be without hassle. I don’t really have anything bad to say about it.

This list does not include Alma walking behind you on the bridge in the water treatment plant in F.E.A.R. It’s obviously incomplete.

I’m really surprised that tattoos aren’t considered a “work for hire”.

I worked with someone who used to commute from Victorville to Edwards AFB and Mojave Airport - 395 to the 58, 75 miles, mostly 2 lanes, and lots of trucks. He did this for 20 years. When the company he worked for relocated, he negotiated a move package as well as a $20k payout for anyone that *didn’t* move. Where did…

Per AVWeek (https://aviationweek.com/shownews/farnborough-airshow/airbus-flight-test-cfm-rise-open-rotor), “RISE is aimed at a successor to the current Leap 1 turbofan in the 20,000-35,000-lb. thrust class.” The GP7200 (which the A380 has 4 of) is 70,000 to 81,500 lbs. of thrust. They are using the A380 as a testbed,…

This makes me sad.  I spent a lot of hours across 400 flights on 747's, and it’s an amazing aircraft.  I hope I get to fly on one commercially as a passenger someday.

I want to see this in my Volt and Pacifica PHEV's.

I saw “NACL K9" on California's whale license plate.  That one was amazingly good.

Only if you have her try to pay with an American Express card.

“A bomb?”

What’s your opinion on the Palladium series of games, especially Rifts?

What If... Tycho from Penny Arcade meet the artist from Megatokyo instead?

The B-17 took him 17 years; he was afraid the B-24 would take 24 years.
